SEIFRIED ESTATE NELSON CHARDONNAY 2014

Facts

Gold Medal - New Zealand International Wine Show 2015
Gold Medal - Spiegelau International Wine Competition 2015Winery notes (2014 Vintage)
"Grapes for this Chardonnay were grown adjacent to our winery. The “hen and chicken” berries of the Mendoza clone of Chardonnay used in this blend give full tropical flavours. The fruit was harvested and brought to the winery where it was immediately pressed and cooled for a 24 hour settling period. Following this, the juice was racked and warmed before inoculation. Once the ferment was active it was gravity fed into one year old French barriques. The wine completed primary fermentation in oak before then undergoing malolactic fermentation. During fermentation, the barrels were hand stirred regularly to build palate weight and structure. Following this, the wine was left sitting on lees for a further six months before being racked from barrique, blended and prepared for bottling.

The 2014 Seifried Chardonnay has well defined aromatic notes of nectarine and tropical fruits. The palate has generous entry with melon and mango characters and an appealing minerally element running around the fruit weight on the palate."
5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, November 2014 (2014 Vintage)
"A gorgeous chardonnay packed with attractive flavours. It's immediately appealing on the nose with nectarine, rockmelon, citrus and vanillin oak aromas, leading to a succulent palate that's richly flavoured and beautifully rounded. It's upfront and friendly, and offers excellent fruit richness and creamy texture. At its best: now to 2018."
